PLO doesn't like Senator Cruz's hearing on Palestinian terrorism

PLO takes issue with Republican presidential candidate's Senate hearing on terror. Cruz: The PLO is a terrorist organization.

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on Thursday took issue with Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, after he held a Senate hearing on Palestinian and Iranian terrorism, The Associated Press (AP) reports.

In an unusual and harsh statement, the PLO said the Judiciary subcommittee hearing overseen by Cruz provided no Palestinian viewpoint and was overseen by “Israel apologists”.

The PLO expressed alarm at what it said was a growing trend in the United States to dehumanize Palestinians.

Cruz oversaw the hearing entitled, "Justice Forsaken: How the Federal Government Fails the American Victims of Iranian and Palestinian Terrorism," in which several public witnesses described acts of violence and complained about the Obama administration, arguing that its Justice Department has failed to prosecute terrorists who have killed and injured Americans, according to AP.

Cruz opened the hearing with a vivid description of a Palestinian suicide bomber attack on a Jerusalem street several years ago that killed and injured men, women and children.

Cruz spoke of "Americans who have suffered greatly because of the horrific actions of Iranian and Palestinian terrorists" and the recent surge of Palestinian terrorist attacks in Israel.

We should not be giving and money to these terrorists. Abbas himself was the one who financed the Munich Massacre and nothing has changed on how they use the money given to them.

I especially like his new direction plan for how we deal with Israel.

Support them unequivocally while staying the hell out of their negotiations with the paleostinians.

How do you dehumanize those who's religion and behavior only confirm that status?

Where do I sign up to join the “growing trend in the United States to dehumanize Palestinians?”

No need for me to state WHY I wish to join up, is there?
